vertical metres of off piste skiing and the size of the domain is
similar to an unpisted, untracked Courchevel. Access to the mountain
is by a two stage cable car which is an experience in itself. The
village of La Grave has a variety of shops and restaurants with
a very laid back unpretentious feel. The accommodationBased at the lovely Hotel Edelweiss, this will be our third trip to this amazing resort. The village has a variety of shops and restaurants and has a refreshingly laid back and unpretentious feel to it. Robin Kinnaird will run this trip for the third successive year with the focus firmly on your off-piste and steep terrain skiing.

Set
on an awe inspiring mountain this is not for the easily scared,
sweeping glaciers and long couloirs make for adventurous and exciting
skiing. Imagine Courchevel unpisted and untracked, but with steeper
couloirs and surrounded by rugged mountains - then you get an idea
of the scope of this ski domain. It has 2100 vertical metres of
off-piste!!
